Clermont Auvergne’s electric flyer Kotaro Matsushima has been added to the Japanese team that will face Ireland at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow.
Matsushima missed his country’s narrow defeat to Australia in Oita last week but his return to full-back here adds to the danger imposed by the Brave Blossoms who also ran Ireland very close in Dublin last summer.
